Does it really matter what colour skin the majority of the comic-book reading populace may or may not be? Is something that is essentially genetic asthestics really all that important in relation to comic books? Skin colour isn't even a reliable indication of heritage.

Personally, I'm more interested in what these guys have to say than what colour their skin is.

You know, it was an honest question. For the record, I know a lot more people of colour than I do Caucasians. I live in a city that is over 60% black, and I live in one of the blackest parts of that city. But every single person I have ever heard discuss comics has been white.

But since I do not read comics and don't know anyone who does beyond what you could call 'in passing,' I thought maybe I was missing something, and so I asked.

The question I was asking "why is everyone white here" is in regards to the people portrayed in the comics. Looking back over "ALL" the cartoon characters posted on this site, there are no minorities that I saw, with the exception of 2 questionable ones. Hence the line, "Is this store in Alaska"? Just a banal comment (attempt @ humor) really with no hint of racism meant. The cartoons and comments here are quite hilarious, I was just curious if any other nationalities where in the store making the same inane comments/questions.

How exactly do you know that all of the people in these comics are white? There is no gray scale in any of these. Would he color their face completely black? Switch to white lines on a black background? Would either of those be BETTER?

@Anon 8:38 - Your mistake was asking an honest question on the internet. Worse, asking an honest question in a place where there are a lot of people commenting anonymously. If there's even the tiniest chance that someone might find something you say offensive, they will.
